Chairman's Message
  
Greetings!

I can't believe it's already September. For most of us, this means the vacations are over, the kids return to school and its back to the grind.
But, there is no need to be blue. Autumn is a great time to be living in the Antelope Valley and here's why:   
Events - In addition to the ongoing Farmer's Markets and Sierra Toyota Concert Series, September marks the start of the City of Lancaster's "120 Days of Fun" beginning with Celebrate America on the BLVD (9/12) and the Streets of Lancaster Grand Prix (9/25-9/27). 
Promotional Opportunities - The Lancaster Chamber of Commerce Semi-Annual Flea Market isn't until Sunday, October 4, but now is the time to reserve your vendor space. With thousands of shoppers expected, you do not want to miss this prime selling and networking opportunity!
Giving Back - September also marks the launch of the 2015/16 Young Entrepreneurs' Academy class. We are currently looking for program and scholarship sponsors as well as presenters, student mentors and field trip opportunities. If you or your business has the time, talent or resources to support the next generation of business leaders, please let us know. 
In closing, I would like to thank the many volunteers who supported the Chamber's Fair Parade and the Antelope Valley Fair & Alfalfa Festival. Your contributions made both events highly successful and reinforces my chairmanship's unofficial theme: "do well by doing good."
Thank you all for being a part of the continued success of the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce!

City of Lancaster Makes Early Call for Projects to Improve the Community for Ninth Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Lancaster, CA. August 13, 2015 - The City of Lancaster is already working hard in preparation for its upcoming ninth annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service. In doing so, the City is now inviting the community to submit project applications. While the City will continue to accept project applications through October, citizens who anticipate proposing projects which require more than $250 in supplies and/or 50 volunteers are being asked to submit their project applications by Friday, September 18, 2015.

Whether you have an activity already planned that you would like included on the roster of projects, or are simply contemplating the seed of an idea which can grow into a project; the City would like to hear from you. The goal of this event is to direct volunteer efforts towards improving the areas which are of greatest interest to the community. Thus, community engagement is vital to ensuring true success.

Day of Service will be officially hosted on January 16 next year, the Saturday preceding the National holiday. Projects may span the entire week before and after the formal day of service. In past years, projects have included such activities as painting park fences, renovating the homes of veterans, improving school facilities, and serving food to the homeless.

No idea is too small. No concept is too large. Projects can be submitted by organizations, businesses, and individuals. To submit a project idea, simply download and submit the Project Application from the event webpage www.cityoflancasterca.org/mlkday

For more information regarding the event, call (661) 723-5851 or email mlkday@cityoflancasterca.org.

Tax Planning for Small Business Owners
Companyoffive
Tax planning is the process of looking at various tax options to determine when, whether, and how to conduct business and personal transactions to reduce or eliminate tax liability. Many small business owners ignore tax planning. They don't even think about their taxes until it's time to meet with their accountants, but tax planning is an ongoing process and good tax advice is a valuable commodity. It is to your benefit to review your income and expenses monthly and meet with your CPA or tax adviser quarterly to analyze how you can take full advantage of the provisions, credits and deductions that are legally available to you.
Although tax avoidance planning is legal, tax evasion - the reduction of tax through deceit, subterfuge, or concealment - is not. Frequently what sets tax evasion apart from tax avoidance is the IRS's finding that there was fraudulent intent on the part of the business owner. The following are four of the areas the IRS examiners commonly focus on as pointing to possible fraud:
  • Failure to report substantial amounts of income such as a shareholder's failure to report dividends or a store owner's failure to report a portion of the daily business receipts.
  • Claims for fictitious or improper deductions on a return such as a sales representative's substantial overstatement of travel expenses or a taxpayer's claim of a large deduction for charitable contributions when no verification exists.
  • Accounting irregularities such as a business's failure to keep adequate records or a discrepancy between amounts reported on a corporation's return and amounts reported on its financial statements.
  • Improper allocation of income to a related taxpayer who is in a lower tax bracket such as where a corporation makes distributions to the controlling shareholder's children.
Tax Planning Strategies
Countless tax planning strategies are available to small business owners. Some are aimed at the owner's individual tax situation and some at the business itself, but regardless of how simple or how complex a tax strategy is, it will be based on structuring the strategy to accomplish one or more of these often overlapping goals:
  • Reducing the amount of taxable income
  • Lowering your tax rate
  • Controlling the time when the tax must be paid
  • Claiming any available tax credits
  • Controlling the effects of the Alternative Minimum tax
Avoiding the most common tax planning mistakes
In order to plan effectively, you'll need to estimate your personal and business income for the next few years. This is necessary because many tax planning strategies will save tax dollars at one income level, but will create a larger tax bill at other income levels. You will want to avoid having the "right" tax plan made "wrong" by erroneous income projections. Once you know what your approximate income will be, you can take the next step: estimating your tax bracket.   The effort to come up with crystal-ball estimates may be difficult and by its very nature will be inexact. On the other hand, you should already be projecting your sales revenues, income, and cash flow for general business planning purposes. The better your estimates are, the better the odds that your tax planning efforts will succeed.
Maximizing Business Entertainment Expenses
Entertainment expenses are legitimate deductions that can lower your tax bill and save you money, provided you follow certain guidelines.
In order to qualify as a deduction, business must be discussed before, during, or after the meal and the surroundings must be conducive to a business discussion. For instance, a small, quiet restaurant would be an ideal location for a business dinner. A nightclub would not. Be careful of locations that include ongoing floor shows or other distracting events that inhibit business discussions. Prime distractions are theater locations, ski trips, golf courses, sports events, and hunting trips.
The IRS allows up to a 50 percent deduction on entertainment expenses, but you must keep good records and the business meal must be arranged with the purpose of conducting specific business. Bon appetite!
Important Business Automobile Deductions
If you use your car for business such as visiting clients or going to business meetings away from your regular workplace you may be able to take certain deductions for the cost of operating and maintaining your vehicle. You can deduct car expenses by taking either the standard mileage rate or using actual expenses. The mileage reimbursement rates for 2015 are 57.5 cents per business mile (56 cents per mile in 2014), 14 cents per charitable mile (unchanged from 2014) and 23 cents for moving and medical miles (down from 23.5 cents per mile in 2014). If you own two cars, another way to increase deductions is to include both cars in your deductions. This works because business miles driven are determined by business use. To figure business use, divide the business miles driven by the total miles driven. This strategy can result in significant deductions. Whichever method you decide to use to take the deduction, always be sure to keep accurate records such as a mileage log and receipts. If you need assistance figuring out which method is best for your business, don't hesitate to contact the office.
Increase Your Bottom Line When You Work At Home
The home office deduction is quite possibly one of the most difficult deductions ever to come around the block. Yet, there are so many tax advantages it becomes worth the navigational trouble. Here are a few common tips for home office deductions that can make tax season significantly less traumatic for those of you with a home office. Try prominently displaying your home business phone number and address on business cards, have business guests sign a guest log book when they visit your office, deduct long-distance phone charges, keep a time and work activity log, retain receipts and paid invoices. Keeping these receipts makes it so much easier to determine percentages of deductions later on in the year.
Section 179 expensing for tax year 2015 allows you to immediately deduct, rather than depreciate over time, up to $25,000, with a cap of $200,000 (down from $500,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, in 2014) worth of qualified business property that you purchase during the year. The key word is "purchase". Equipment can be new or used and includes certain software. All home office depreciable equipment meets the qualification. Some deductions can be taken whether or not you qualify for the home office deduction itself. It's never too early to meet with a tax professional to learn more about home office deductions.
